"Work satisfaction greatly depends on what team you end up in and what management structure is controlling it. If your team is collaborating with staff in India, you'll be expected to attend odd hour phone meetings. Altogether not very much emphasis is put on work-life balance. On the other hand, it can be great career maker to work and have worked for this company. People from all over the world come to work for Amazon, and it's fun to meet them in the common kitchen areas."

"I am part of Amazon Business - Pricing Group; handling various pricing initiatives. Recently, I delivered one of the biggest and most complex Amazon Business Pricing programs named "Volume Aware Pricing". I worked close to 25 internal & external teams and took this program from start to finish line & launched it in 7 regions (US, IT, FR, DE, ES, UK, JP). I got the chance of working on a very critical, complex and high visible program."

"I really enjoy engaging with the community and building relationships with community leaders. I like reaching out to candidates to inform them of possible opportunities that fit their needs. In doing so, I have built numerous connections within the community. The amount of available resources Amazon has to offer its employees and the ability for us to use them has helped many employees focus on their short-term and long-term personal development plans. This helps the employee become more successful at what they do."

"I’ve been employed with Amazon since 11/21/2019 recently converted to a full-time Amazonian. Amazon is a great company to work for with great benefits and opportunity advancements. There’s a lot of diversity and upper management focuses on employee relations on a daily basis. If you are a hard-working employee and customer-focused then this is the place for you."

"I have worked for Amazon since January of 2019, this company has nurtured me and taught me 80% of my knowledge regarding my professional career. They have great work ethic, sense of team work flourishes within the company and it is very fast paced. We have trainings almost every other week which enables us to learn different skills. The biggest setback about Amazon would be the high turnover of managers as no one tends to stick around, and the main reason would be long work hours(13+) and always increasing metric goals to which we submit reports which are tedious, long and reiterating. The way Amazon does process improvement is fantastic and I believe it is only a matter of time before they create new process for reporting metrics as well. But great company to work for overall."

"I've worked at Amazon for 3 years as an IT support engineer. I have found a tremendous amount of opportunities for growth and development. We have the opportunity to work with many different technologies. They help you not only grow with technical skills, but also teach leadership principles that translate to new positions outside of the company."

"I've worked at Amazon for over 2.5 years. The company is incredibly fast pace and allows great autonomy. I have learned more there than ever thought imagined. The downside to amazon is they are highly deliver results based and use every bit of there employees. There is not a balance between work and life."
